On-Premise Data Center Decommissioning

Companies are permanently closing corporate data centers as more workload transitions to the cloud. SLS can return these data centers to a clean sweep empty space, removing and shipping all equipment to one of our processing facilities. There the equipment is evaluated and either prepared for redeployment, resell through e-commerce channels or sold to specialized buyers. Any obsolete equipment is responsibly recycled.

Benefits of Using SLS

Complete decommissioning, data destruction, asset resale and recycling, all from a single vendor.  We handle it all, giving you:

Additional Services

Co-Located Data Center Services

We routinely work in colocated data centers, on behalf of our clients, to remove equipment from their designated cage area. We are registered at many data centers and our technicians have been approved to go on-site by data center managers. We deinstall servers and blades and can destroy data prior to equipment being shipped to one of our processing centers.
